@MsDropbear42 As I recall, the last episode of negotiations were nearing a successful conclusion when Israel and the USA commenced their attacks on Iran. I wonder if that's the sort of good faith Vance is talking about. Or maybe it's the sort of 'good faith' negotiations like the time Israel tried to murder the Iranian negotiators. Or perhaps it's like when Israel agreed to a ceasefire but kept on murdering folk in Palestine and Lebanon, including aid workers and peace keepers, anyway. Hard to know.
